The car suddenly has technical problems and has to be stopped in an unauthorized place - what to do? Situations can vary, but it is not always clear how to proceed and who to ask for help. In this article, we will find out how to act and warn other drivers about a parked car on the road, how to get around an obstacle that should always be in the car and what help is available. In addition, we conducted a survey among the followers of the Safe Driving School social networks.

Analyzing the driving and maintenance habits of Latvian drivers in the past year, it has been concluded that the greatest sin is with car maintenance and the use of the telephone while driving. More than a third or 34% of the surveyed drivers indicate that they follow the technical condition of the car themselves and turn to a specialist only in case of extreme need, while 6% believe that it is enough to go to the mandatory roadworthiness test once a year. Almost as many drivers also admit to talking on the phone (33%) or writing news (5%) at the wheel, according to the GO's Responsible Driving Index.

The winter season is one of the most challenging tests of drivers' driving skills. While most drivers drive their vehicles with extreme caution, some, unfortunately, show aggressive and hurried driving patterns that may be dangerous, but there are still those who drive safely and balanced without disturbing the overall flow of traffic. Do you see yourself in any of these types?

This year, winter in its full glory has surprised quite rapidly. There has been a lot of snow and thaw. Consequently, the road surface in the territory of Latvia has been changing every day. The choice of tires is of great importance in such circumstances.
